In 2025 the median new-launch 2 bedroom condo was 678 square feet in every region of Singapore
By Realila · URA caveat data, sales to 23 August 2026
The median new-launch 2 bedroom condominium sold in 2025 was 678 sqft in the core central region (CCR), 678 sqft in the rest of central region (RCR) and 678 sqft in outside central (OCR), across 4,536 sales in URA caveat data. What a 2 bedroom costs, what it rents for, its rental yield and how big it is are covered in the 2 bedroom condo guide.
The median resale 2 bedroom in 2025 was 936 sqft in the CCR, 786 sqft in the RCR and 807 sqft in the OCR, against 678 sqft for the median new-launch 2 bedroom in each region. From 2017 to 2025 the median resale 2 bedroom fell from 936 to 786 sqft in the RCR and from 947 to 807 sqft in the OCR, and did not rise in any year in between. In the CCR it was 969 sqft in 2017, 1,012 sqft in 2019 and 936 sqft in 2025.
The note on what a 2 bedroom costs found new 2 bedrooms converging on 678 sqft. This note gives floor areas by region and year, for new launches and resales. In the note on 2 bedroom rent by region, the CCR's monthly rent premium over the OCR was wider than its premium per square foot, and the reason given was that CCR 2 bedrooms are larger; the last section of this note checks that against the floor areas.

From 2017 to 2025 the median new-launch 2 bedroom was between 667 and 764 sqft in every region and year. The two highest medians, 764 sqft in 2018 and 759 sqft in 2024, were both in the CCR and both came from the 2 years with the fewest CCR new-launch sales: 259 in 2018 and 194 in 2024. In 2025 the CCR had 1,246 new-launch sales and a median of 678 sqft, the same as the RCR and OCR, so the spread between regions was zero, against 32 sqft in 2017. The middle half of new-launch 2 bedrooms in 2025 ran from 603 to 732 sqft in the CCR, 646 to 721 sqft in the RCR and 646 to 753 sqft in the OCR.

In 2025, 63% of new-launch 2 bedrooms sold in the CCR, 71% in the RCR and 63% in the OCR were under 700 sqft. The CCR share was 17% in 2024, a year with 194 CCR new-launch sales. In the OCR the share was above half in 6 of the 9 years from 2017 to 2025, and below half in 2021 (41%), 2022 (41%) and 2023 (47%).
Under 600 sqft, the share of new-launch 2 bedrooms in the RCR was 6% in 2020 and 0% in 2023 and 0% in 2024, and in 2025 it was 16% in the CCR, 10% in the RCR and 20% in the OCR.
Among resales, the share under 700 sqft in the RCR was 11% in 2017, then rose in every year from 12% in 2019 to 31% in 2025. In the OCR it rose from 4% in 2017 to 25% in 2025. In the CCR it was 13% in 2017 and 17% in 2025. Under 600 sqft, the resale share in 2025 was 6% in the CCR and 4% in the RCR and OCR.
Do the earlier notes' claims about 2 bedroom size hold?
The note on what a 2 bedroom costs found that new 2 bedrooms were converging on 678 sqft. In 2025 the median new-launch 2 bedroom was 678 sqft in the core central region (CCR), 678 sqft in the rest of central region (RCR) and 678 sqft in outside central (OCR), so that finding holds for 2025.
The note on 2 bedroom rent by region gave larger CCR 2 bedrooms as the reason the CCR's monthly rent premium over the OCR, 44% in 2025, is wider than its premium per square foot, 27%.
In 2025 the median resale 2 bedroom was 936 sqft in the CCR and 807 sqft in the OCR, so the CCR median was larger, as that note said. The median new-launch 2 bedroom was 678 sqft in the CCR and 678 sqft in the OCR, so for new launches there was no difference in median size. This note has no price or rent data and does not test whether size explains either premium.
What this tells you
In 2025 the median new-launch 2 bedroom was 678 sqft in the core central region (CCR), 678 sqft in the rest of central region (RCR) and 678 sqft in outside central (OCR). In each region more than half of new-launch 2 bedrooms sold in 2025 were under 700 sqft: 63% in the CCR, 71% in the RCR and 63% in the OCR.
The median resale 2 bedroom fell between 2017 and 2025 from 969 to 936 sqft in the CCR, from 936 to 786 sqft in the RCR and from 947 to 807 sqft in the OCR. The spread between the regional medians widened from 33 sqft in 2017 to 150 sqft in 2025.
The share of resales under 700 sqft rose from 11% in 2017 to 31% in 2025 in the RCR and from 4% in 2017 to 25% in 2025 in the OCR; in the CCR it was 13% in 2017 and 17% in 2025.
What this does not tell you
- These are floor areas as recorded on the caveat, strata area including balconies and any private enclosed space; usable interior space is smaller, and by a proportion that varies by project.
- A regional median says nothing about a unit. 2 bedrooms of 500 sqft and 1,100 sqft both sold in every region in 2025.
- A median from few sales is less stable than one from many: the CCR's new-launch medians for 2018 and 2024 rest on 259 and 194 sales, against 1,246 in 2025.
- 2026† is a partial year, January to 23 August 2026, shown in the two tables marked † and in no other table. It is not compared with full years.
Method and data notes. Sale data to 23 August 2026.
URA caveat data for private condominiums and apartments, live records only, collective sales excluded, with bedroom count resolved from the unit record; floor area is the caveat's area in square feet. New launch means new sale; resale excludes sub-sales. The class of unit records with more than 1,000 sqft per claimed bedroom, defined in the Method of the note on 2 bedroom rental yield, is excluded by rule: 179 sales across the 9 years, 185 including the partial 2026 period. Excluding them moves three of the sixty published medians, by at most 1.2%. The rule sees only implausibly large records; it cannot see a larger unit recorded as a 2 bedroom at an ordinary size, and at least one such unit is known to be among the CCR records, so the CCR figures may include a mislabelled unit. Medians and quartiles are used throughout and no single smallest or largest unit is reported, because single records are where mislabelled bedroom counts surface. The spread is the largest regional median less the smallest. 2026† is a partial year, January to 23 August 2026. Its medians are in the two tables marked †, and it is excluded from every other table and from every comparison. Sale data to 23 August 2026.
